I love this list. I personally don’t play on the PTR or in Betas, and while I’ll take new information re: gold making, profession changes, spell changes, etc., I do my best to avoid lore spoilers and most screenshots because i like the newness, surprise, and general eye candy that comes with an expansion release. For that reason, I don’t usually have a ‘master game plan’ because I’m not 100% clear on what is where or how every last thing works. Consequently, I usually miss the boat on something. There are in-depth guides galore though if I want to drown in minutia, and Dugi or Zygor for questing. Give me a few bullet points to help me make it through the first night, pat me on the head, and send me on my way. Thumbs up.
